Parish Life

At Holy Faith we are committed to living the life of the Compassionate Christ together by sharing his welcome, his worship, his witness, his walk in the Spirit, his work. All these dimensions must be present in a parish; all are interwoven with one another. Each “W” is briefly explained below and although many ministries intermingle into more than one category of parish life we have listed the most discernible. A brief description of each ministry can be found in the “Ministry Directory” organized alphabetically. To go directly to a particular ministry go to:
